Charles Johnson

What strikes me about Charles Johnson is how the defense-first catcher tends to get undersold in baseball memory. A Gold Glove behind the plate is its own kind of stardom, even if it never lights up a highlight reel the way a home run does. I find his career arc telling too: he came up with the Florida Marlins, won there, then bounced through the Dodgers, Orioles, White Sox, Rockies and Devil Rays. That much movement for a respected catcher reads to me less like decline and more like proof that a steady, trusted glove always finds work. A University of Miami product who quietly mastered the unglamorous craft.
